How is Your Hot Water Flowing?

Tom, tomorrow we are replacing a Hot Water Heater that went bad after the inspection. It is a hold up but once corrected we will move to close. 

Hi Tom, sort of disgusting sometimes to see what the inside of piping looks like...thanks for sharing.

Yuk.   I don't want to think about taking a shower and washing my hair with that pipe water. 

Tom: Good suggestions on something I had not thought about. Drinking water that came out of a pipe like that? Yuuk!

Great pic.  Makes you wonder why some some Realtors around here get upset when I inform the potential homebuyers that there galvanized plumbing system may be in need of an upgrade soon.

Good for you checking the whole system.  No, that piece deoesn't look good - looks like a clogged artery.

Tom, So a little extra iron fortification in their water :)  Things like that are easy to not think about since there's not much external evidence of a problem, and until there is a problem, who'd take apart their plumbing to look?

Good information, Tom. I doubt if any of us think about this until something goes wrong.

Tom: We, too, had one little problem, but then decided to check out everything since it hadn't been done for many years. Amazing what you find. That's some scary photo.

El Yukko Grande, Tom! Some of the things you must deal with, I think would engage my gag reflex...

Tom, A picture is worth a thousand words and I think most here start with gross.

Thanks for sharing.....................I think lol

Enjoy the day

It can be amazing when something causes a maintenance problem.  You can discover all sorts of little things when a repairmen visits.  At the beginning of this week, I drove out of my garage.  Then I hit the remote to bring the garage door down.  Nada, zip, zero, it moved a few inches and then went right back to full up position and stopped.  The rollers near the top went all catawampus.  I walked over to the wall next to the door that leads into the kitchen, and looked at the familiar sticker with contact information for the garage door company.  They swiftly came.  Turns out clear back when that garage door was installed (about 10 years ago), a nut had been placed on a screw with the nut on the inside of the track.  That roller had been hitting that nut for years.  The repairman installed a new hinge, and a new roller, BUT more importantly, he put in a smooth headed bolt where the old screw and nut had been.  The garage door sounds so wonderful now compared to how it had these past 10 years.
